2009 Tour de Kids … Miracles in Motion Event Benefiting Children’s Miracle Network


Thanks to our generous sponsors your pledge contributions helped change a child’s life

Ace “Helpful” riders completed the 6th Annual Ace “Tour de Kids” charity bicycle ride.  48 riders bicycled from Chicago to Atlanta in the hopes of raising $1 million for Children’s Miracle Network.  This brought the ride right into Atlanta before our fall show; it was a great way to kick off a convention.

The Ace Foundation wants to thank the below sponsors for their generous contributions.  With their help and that of “friends and family” this year’s event raised over $350,000 for Children’s Miracle Network.
